The Product
See our current Book Builder project entitled The Great Depresion Changes America Forever: What Kept Americans Sane During the Great Depression?
This version of our Book Builder product is a second draft. At this stage in our instructional design process, formative evaluations have been completed and we are now completing summative evaluations of the effectiveness, strengths, and weaknesses of our product. The results of our formative evaluation and the modifications we made to our project as a result of the formative data can be found on the Evaluation page of this wiki. After completing our summative evaluation, we will make any additional revisions to our product.
